Cornas Graeme & Julie Bott 2022

The story of the domain is intimately linked to that of the couple formed by Julie and Graeme Bott. Julie, a native of the Rhône Valley, and Graeme, from New Zealand, built their business from the ground up after buying their first parcel of Condrieu in 2015. To add a bit of charm to this tale, it’s worth noting that this small parcel happened to be none other than their very own garden, which they obtained upon purchasing their house. After a great deal of hard work, the domain now boasts seven hectares of Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussane vines. Their guiding principle is to produce wines that are pure and open, generous and richly sculpted. To attain this perfect balance, the couple combine environmental awareness with natural conviction. Their vines, in the process of converting to organic farming, are tended to by hand. As a result, they benefit from the highest quality raw materials and a well-earned reputation among connoisseurs of fine Rhône wines.
